Why must we continually redefine pure math?

@NewYorker@fortnow "An emirp is prime even when you reverse it: 389, 983." Factual error. That is a palindromic prime, not an emirp. -
@PCacioppi According to wikipedia@NewYorker got it right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirp -
@fortnow@NewYorker All due respect -no. 389, 983 *IS* a palindrome. Wiki : "This definition excludes the related palindromic primes." (1) -
@fortnow@NewYorker Everyone assumes famous NYer fact checkers got it right. We need an esteemed prof (not a Phd dropout) to correct them(2)
